Museum of Communism (Muzeum Komunismu)
Ironically located next door to a casino and above a McDonald's,
the Museum of Communism is dedicated to presenting an account of
the post World War II Communist regime in Czechoslovakia and Prague
in particular. It offers an eye-opening look at life behind the
Iron Curtain and leading visitors through the life of the Czech
people during the times of the Soviet Union. With genuine artefacts
on display, informative text, multimedia presentations and even a
reconstructed classroom, the museum makes sure the memory is kept
alive of what it brands 'Communism - the Dream, the Reality, and
the Nightmare'.
